Rick and Morty Season 6 Brings Back Fan-Favorite Villain

Rick and Morty has been bringing back a lot of major characters with Season 6 so far, and the series has dropped the first tease at the next big villain return with a first look at the season's next big episode! Season 6 is now back up and running with the final episodes of its slate following its extended hiatus, and the season has been following a curious trend of sticking more to the overall serialization of the story canon with nods and stories tapping into the past. It looks like this is gearing up to continue with the next episode too.

It's been an interesting season to see unfold as Rick and Morty seems to be fully utilizing its past rather than fighting against it like seen in previous seasons. Soon it will tie back into one of the most memorable episodes from the fifth season as Episode 8 of Rick and Morty Season 6 will be bringing back Rick Sanchez's rival, Mr. Nimbus, to the series. You can see the villain's return in action below with the release of the opening scene as shared by Adult Swim: 

Why Does Mr. Nimbus Return in Rick and Morty Season 6? 

Episode 8 of Rick and Morty Season 6 is titled "Analyze Piss," and the opening scene sees the titular duo fighting against Mr. Nimbus once more. It was teased through the look at Rick's new sea-faring fortress in promotional materials that Mr. Nimbus would be involved somehow (since he has a full control over the oceans and the police), and it's revealed in this opening scene that this fortress had caused major conflict between the two where Rick ultimately loses as Mr. Nimbus gets what he wants.

Unfortunately it seems like Mr. Nimbus' return to the series isn't the big focus of the episode, but this is also just one of the many fun nods to the overall continuity that Season 6 has been handling so well thus far. It's not only a fun callback, but also a demonstration of how Rick continues to get frustrated over his rival as Mr. Nimbus manages to pull one over on Rick once again.

But how do you feel about Mr. Nimbus coming back for Rick and Morty Season 6 in this scene? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments! You can even reach out to me directly about all things animated and other cool stuff @Valdezology on Twitter!
